Product Info
A true standout in the mid-fat freeride class, the Faction Candide 3.0 Skis + Look Pivot 14 Dual WTR Ski Bindings are adaptable and capable of taking on the entire mountain with grace and ease. A versatile skier who takes on steeps, trees and powder as they come up will find the 108 mm waist the ideal "quiver of one' choice. With a moderately stiff and lively balsa flax core, the Candide 3.0 manages to float through freshies and maintain a super minimal swing weight while still railing the hardpack. Titanal reinforcement underfoot provides dampening, as well as a stronger mounting platform for the binding of your choice. The Faction Candide 3.0 Skis are quite possibly the most versatile, fun-to-ride freeride skis on the market, and while they probably won't make you ski like Candide they certainly won't hurt your chances. Mount 'em up, click in, and go have 'one of those days'!
Product Details
Rocker Type
Rocker / Camber / Rocker – 330mm rocker in the tip, 2mm camber underfoot, and 320mm rocker in the tail.
Flex
Stiff Flex – 7/10 - Designed to provide bite and stability in steep terrain and variable snow
Sidecut
Reduced Taper Sidecut
Core
Hybrid Balsa/Flax Core – A lightweight and well-dampened core with a sidewall construction for great edge hold.
Laminates
Titanal Reinforcement Underfoot – Titanal plates secure the binding screws. The one peice design fits most touring bindings with center screws.
Sidewalls
Micro-Cap Protection – Continuing efforts to improve chip-resistance in their skis, Faction incorporated a 'micro' cap where the topsheet meets the sidewall on sandwich constructed skis
Sandwich Construction – Used on most of Faction's skis. A traditional manufacturing method that provides strength, durability, good grip, and edge hold. Rubber is used to dampen vibration and bond the base layers to the core.
Multi-Colored Sidewall
Base
Die-Cut PTEX 3000 Base – Used on most Faction Skis. Sintered PTEX 3000 base material is more porous and holds wax well.
Graphics
Matte Textured Topsheet – Matte ICP8210 topsheets require no lacquering saving around 100gm/pair, and reduces the use of not-quite-environmentally friendly lacquer. It also shows through the natural structure of the underlying laminate layers.
Included Bindings
Includes Look Pivot 14 Dual WTR Ski Bindings – DIN Range 5 - 14
Demo Bindings Come Mounted to Skis – Always have a certified binding technician adjust your bindings.

All-Mountain, Big Mountain

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm. Big Mountain Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Tail Type:
Full Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Full Twin Tip Desinged to allow you to ski backwards, full twin tips are found primarily on park & pipe skis and freestyle powder skis. More and more, we are seeing twin tips on all-mountain skis of all abilities, as it makes it a little easier to get around, and for the most part does not inhibit forward skiing.
